There are many that I want to read, but not sure if I want to own them. I am partial to the Sherlock Holmes series by Conan Doyle. Then again, I really want to read Anne Bronte's works and more Elizabeth Gaskell. I really did want a copy of North & South or Wives and Daughters! I adored Cranford.

I just finished The Mill on the Floss a couple of weeks ago, and other than that I'd only read The Lifted Veil (great post by the way!) by Eliot, so I'm keen to get some more of her writing in my hands.

I have just finished Wilde's The Happy Prince and Other Tales for the event.<br /><br />My choice will be The Woman in White from Wilkie Collins. I live in Indonesia, by the way.<br />Thanks for the giveaway!<br /><br />elsa_maran at yahoo dot comMelisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787124827978569916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-25817526525299598252012-06-11T07:44:44.560-04:002012-06-11T07:44:44.560-04:00Wow great, finally I can enter my first giveaway!
...Wow great, finally I can enter my first giveaway!<br /><br />I would choose "The Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins. I love crime/detective literature and thrillers and one cannot forget that it all started in England in the 19th century. Having read "The Woman in White" I am extremely confident of Collins' mastery both at creating a mystery and at putting it down to create a work of art and a literary landmark.<br /><br />I live in Spain.<br /><br />booksandreviewsblog [at] gmail [dot] comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-49823720081027467662012-06-11T07:20:24.549-04:002012-06-11T07:20:24.549-04:00Thanks!

My giveaway for this event will be international, so you can plan on there being another. :)<br /><br />I live in the UK--Scotland to be specific. If I were to win, I would pick a copy of The Woman in White. I loved it, but I checked it out from the library and don't have my own copy.<br /><br />klmickelsen at gmail dot comKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-81626411979927782322012-06-10T23:26:32.523-04:002012-06-10T23:26:32.523-04:00Thanks Allie - international giveaway much appreci...Thanks Allie - international giveaway much appreciated.<br />My choice is Bleak House by Charles Dickens.

I can't join the event because June and July and busy months for me, but I'll be reading Vanity Fair with a couple of friends this September, so I'm two months behind the celebration, hahaha.<br /><br />This is not a contest entry but in support of your international event (I've been lurking around here for some time now), I'd just like to say that I'd love to buy a new copy of Wuthering Heights. I love the novel and I only have that Bantam mass market edition. I have been forever delaying my purchase of a new trade paperback (my preferred editions).<br /><br />Good luck everyone and enjoy! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-49953353661215894152012-06-10T20:31:08.983-04:002012-06-10T20:31:08.983-04:00Yayyy...thanks Allie, it's a generous giveaway...Yayyy...thanks Allie, it's a generous giveaway!<br />If I won, I'd pick Dickens' Great Expectations.

It was a wonderful post and you were so enthusiastic about this book, I could hardly believe it. I thought, "Wow, I want to feel like that too!" <br />Since then I have read several books which I loved with all my heart, but I always wanted to read this particular one, so here's my chance.<br />My email is michaela.kalcher@gmx.net (yes, Michaela is my horrid first Christian name).<br />Thanks for backing us international guys :)Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672158633910811092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-92034064936613368902012-06-10T16:30:03.098-04:002012-06-10T16:30:03.098-04:00Hello :-) I don't know if I qualify for this a...Hello :-) I don't know if I qualify for this as I have yet to actually review anything. I am currently reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall though. Anyway, on the off chance that I do qualify, I live in the UK, and if I won I would choose either Frances Hodgson Burnett or Charlotte Bronte. The first because I love The Secret Garden and A Little Princess so much (I watched the movie of the latter the other day for the first time in years and was pretty much in tears by the end!),and I'd like to read more by her, and Charlotte Bronte because I don't yet own The Professor, and I love the Brontes so much!<br /><br />thetangledwebweweave@gmail.com<br /><br />Thanks for hosting this awesome event! :-)anarmchairbytheseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593618746095559894noreply@blogger.com
